I can certainly admit to having eaten one sweet too many or a glass of red wine / fizzy drink. All things that don’t do good for our teeth. Simply Health created aย cool infographic showing us which foods to watch out for and which to use for good teeth health!
I created a juice recipe using some of my favourite ingredients from the ‘eat them’ section of the infographic. As autumn is descending upon us on a good shot go vitamin c along with the immune busting benefits of ginger so I named it ‘Second Spring’ …a new beginning, ready for the changing season.
Carrots
Carrot sticks are a great tooth-friendly, healthy snack. They are packed full of vitamin A, which helps form and maintain healthy teeth. Plus, their crunchy texture stimulates the gums and acts like a natural toothbrush.
Ginger
Ginger has many healthy properties, one of which includes being anti-inflammatory – helping to support healthy mouth tissue.
‘Second Spring’ย
Ingredients
– 3 large carrots
– 1 red apple
– 1/2 inch piece of ginger
– juice of 1/2 lime squeezed in after other ingredients have been juiced
Method
To make juice simply put ingredients (peel the ginger) through your juicer. Squeeze in lime juice.

I'm in love with ginger at the moment in juices! I also added some spinach to this yday and it tasted just as amazing but with some extra nutrients ๐
Mmmmm PURPLE CABBAGE and salmon together is BOMB! ๐ So good! I haven't had that combo in a while, but I mean, if it's good for my teeth…. HA AH! I am really loving the combo in this smoothie too!
